Hey Scout!

I've never been really great at running or jogging for period of time. I will, though, usually hit the treadmill at around a 10-12% grade hill around 4-5MPH

Keeps my heart rate around 160-170

I agree, I REALLY don't like running or jogging!

Some guys love running, but I am not one of them.

I normally force myself to do HIIT. It works well for busting away fat as needed and gets the heart rate up nicely. If I am really not feeling sprinting at all I do incline treadmill jogging.

I do HIIT on the elliptical -- 60/90s. Trying to get to 60/60. I regularly hit 165-170 HR which is pretty demanding at 46 years old. But, it really helps with fat loss.

Well for burning fat I like to try and keep my HR around 135. (zone 1)

A couple of months ago I got one of those heart monitor watches. It has been great. I can adjust my weight lifting and pretty much do my cardio with weights if i want. It keeps track of all calories burned and what percentage came from fat. I love it.

Elliptical and stair master alternate between them very happy with results.

I hate running.
